Tracy Chapman
Official Website: http://www.tracychapman.com
So if you're new to this blog, you'll learn real fast that I am a self-confessed Pandoraaholic (if that's even a word, if not, I just invented it so don't steal it). I was listening to my station and Tracy Chapman came on. I've heard her numerous times (the radio station I worked for in college played the mess out of her song "Give Me One Reason"), but when listening to her song "Fast Car" I made up my mind that she has one of the most heartfelt, sincere deliveries in that song. I'm not going to put a long winded profile of her on this post, you can check out her website and probably get all the info you need, but I'll let this video speak for itself.

Horse Feathers
Official Website: http://horsefeatherstheband.com
Horse Feathers is an American folk group started by Idaho native Justin Ringle. Ringle moved to Portland, OR in 2004 and began focusing on acoustic music, playing open mics and using the name Horse Feathers. Ringle met multi-instrumentalist Peter Broderick in 2005, after hearing a couple of Justin's demos and the pair hit the studio in 2006 to give them some fine tuning which resulted in their debut album, 'Words are Dead'. Later that year, Peter's sister Heather Broderick joined the group on cello and by 2007, Horse Feathers began featuring a rotating cast of instrumentalists backing Justin's guitar and vocals. The fall and winter of 2007 saw more studio time for the group and they recorded 'House With No Home,' which was released on Kill Rock Stars in the spring of 2008. Peter left the country to pursue music in Europe around this time, and so Nathan Crockett was enlisted to cover violin duties. Several months later, Heather also left the group to pursue other musical projects and cellist Catherine Odell came on board. The current lineup was rounded out at the beginning of 2009 when Sam Cooper joined as a multi-instrumentalist. As a four piece, the group has been touring extensively and released a new album entitled 'Thistled Spring' on Kill Rock Stars, April 20th, 2010.
